This is more than a placement role—it’s about creating long-term, sustainable pathways and transforming how industry connects with veteran talent.

To succeed in this role, you will bring:

• A collaborative mindset and strong team orientation, with a genuine commitment to making a meaningful impact in the lives of veterans and their families
• Proven ability to take initiative, drive results, and self-motivate, especially in dynamic and evolving environments
• Confidence in networking and building a strong presence across the Defence and Veteran community, including the ability to educate and influence employers and industry
• Depth of experience in business development/stakeholder and customer relationship management, with a strategic approach to creating non-traditional employment pathways
• Ability to develop, document and continually improve business processes to enhance the client experience
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, enabling effective collaboration with internal specialists and external stakeholders
• A focus on quality stakeholder/client case management and recordkeeping

• Flexibility to work across broad geographical areas, including intra- and interstate travel
• Availability to participate in events and forums outside standard hours, including weekends when required
• A completed tertiary qualification in Business, HR, or a related field
• A current, unrestricted driver’s licence

Experience within the Defence or community sector will make your application even more competitive.
